In terms of my own experiences, all that I can tell you is that I have a first cut of a profile based on essentially following the flow in Keith's webpage. It prints negatives that look comparative to a high quality inkjet print in terms of detail, and smoothness. The thing I did not expect is that the inkjet print has higher dynamic range (maximum black almost 2.6 compared to 2.1 on Ilford Warmtone Fiber) so that the same print has deeper blacks. I expected a silver print to look no less flat than the inkjet print. Selenium toning will probably add a little bit of density but I really expected to like the darkroom print a lot more, so I am having to think about whether there are some issues with my process (or what the niche where a true darkroom print from a digital negative will be superior). I am still definitely in the early stages of my explorations.
